Another session from our 85 degree October weekend, and another family that totally rocked it despite the crazy warm “fall” weather. I don’t think Weston was too keen on having his pictures taken at first, but he eventually warmed up and we had a lot of fun! Just a couple of quick photos for now – more to come. 
I could have hung with these guys all day – such a fun family, and after we were done, I swear it felt like we’d known each other longer than just that hour (OK – I know, super corny, but it’s true. Sometimes you just click with people). We met up a few weeks ago for some family photos in what was supposed to be a nice, cool, crisp October fall day. In reality, I’m pretty sure it was close to 85 degrees out – LOL! They handled it so well – I was a hot mess by the end, but they all looked fabulous! Ella and I had fun playing in the fields, and Lane has the best hair! Seriously, check it out!
Another session I’m finishing up this week – two of the cutest little guys I’ve ever seen! Seriously, I don’t think they come much cuter than this. I would kill for lashes like theirs, and I’m sure, like any other guy, they will never really appreciate it – LOL! We had a great time looking for grasshoppers (should have brought my macro lens because they were everywhere!) and playing with trucks. And apparently both boys love smarties. I had so much fun with this family – can’t wait to finish up the rest of their session! Just a few for now – enjoy!
If you look through old blog posts, you’ll probably see a few with this little guy. I’ve been taking his photos since he was less than a week old. He’s always in a good mood, and always has a big mischievous smile on his face. We took his 18 month photos about a month ago (yeah… I’m a little behind on blogging, but trying hard to get caught up) and I’m pretty sure this was one of the only times he sat still. I’m not even exaggerating. This kid ran for an hour and a half straight – he definitely gave me a workout, but I had a great time chasing him around and watching him explore. This is one of my favorite photos from his session – snuggling with mama.
Just a few more from Kelsey and Sarah’s senior session. Gorgeous girls, and it was a fantastic evening for photos.
All the rainy weather the last couple of days has made me realize that the nice, warm sun of summer is probably close to gone for the year. I’m still not giving up my flip flops quite yet…maybe once it starts to snow, but I don’t want to think about that yet.
I took my kids out earlier this summer to try out a new spot. What kid doesn’t want to be dragged out to a field to be photographed, right? Mainly I got photos of them running around, but with enough bribery (this time it was an orange shake and some gum) they sat still for a second and pretended that they like each other. PS – bribery works wonders – if you’re opposed to it, let me know ahead of time. It’s a great last resort.
I think I told them to look for grasshoppers to get them to sit for a minute…
This is what I got most of our time out – someone running towards me or away for me. These kids don’t like to sit still for long.
The begging, pleading, and eventual bribery paid off in the end, and I finally got this photo. It’s being printed right now as a 30×40 canvas for our livingroom. I can’t wait to see how it turns out!
Still getting caught up on blog posts from earlier this summer. I figured if I don’t do it soon, it may not happen since almost completely booked up through mid November – the holiday rush is always insanely busy! (I can’t believe I just had to type “holiday rush” – doesn’t seem like it should be that time yet!). Anyways, I met up with Riley and Gavin a while back to get some brother-sister photos. It was looking a little grey outside, but the rain held off and we were still able to get some cute pictures before the sun was completely hidden behind the clouds.
Almost exactly a year ago I photographed these two down by Como. Bryce was just starting to walk at the time. We met up again a few weeks ago for some more family photos, and Bryce is now a busy 2 year old on the move, and Teagan was the perfect model, as usual. :) Here are just a couple of my favorites from our session.
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there – I hope you’re having a fantastic day!
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting up with Julie and Luke (and their adorable pup) for some engagement photos. We had been planning this session for a good 6 months or so, but things kept coming up and I’m so glad we waited! We finally had nice weather, and really, aside from the brave few, who wants to do outdoor photos in the winter anyways? :)
We met on a gorgeous Sunday morning, the sun was shining, and these guys were so much fun! I’m not sure if Luke was totally up for having his photos taken, but he was a great sport about it. Plus, I got a tour of where their wedding will be at the TPC in Blaine next fall – GORGEOUS!
I had a great time meeting you guys, and thanks for your patience with the pics. This bronchitis has really been kicking my butt. Seriously, who gets sick in the summer???
